hello and welcome to the film review here on bbc news. taking us through this week's cinema releases, we've got mark kermode. what a surprise! what is your selection this week? we have long shot, which is a comedy starling seth rogen and charlize theron. we have tolkien, a biopic of the author of the lord of the rings books. and extremely wicked, shockingly evil and vile, in which ted bundy is played by zac efron. long shot, this is an

american romantic comedy. it's got the comedy like there's something about mary. on the other hand, political satire of wag the dog. seth rogen is a kind of slightly disreputable investigative journalist who is called in by charlize theron‘s secretary, because she is going to run for president and she needs someone to punch up her speeches to make them seem a little more funny, to grab the public‘s attention. it turns out ages and ages ago, she used to babysit for him and he had a huge crush on her. the question is, is his anarchic streak going to help or hinder her career? is she going to be put in touch with the idealism that fired her in her youth? are they going to be more than workmates? the answers to those questions aren't particular surprising, but what is lovely is the way in which they play out because on the one hand, he is kind of schlubby, anarchic and all over the place. she is totally the opposite. here's a clip.

hey. i had some jokes i was going to run by you maybe if you have a second? what are you... what are you looking at? jesus! why would you just barge in here while i'm sleeping? you were sleeping? yes! i was micronapping! oh, that's what you call it? yes. sorry, i didn't realise you were sleeping. you were standing and your eyes were open. do you need something? i had some jokes i wrote i was gonna run by you. that was actually a really good nap. great. seemed really restful. micronapping! but you laughed. what i really like about this is... in the end, these kind of movies come down to whether the chemistry between the leads is good and whether you like the characters.

it is no surprise that seth rogen can play this role. this is a version of a role he's played many times. charlize theron, i don't think people think of comedy, and she is really funny in this, not least because she plays it straight faced enough that you believe in her kind of career politician character, but you also believe that character goes on an arc which involves reconnecting with the things that really matter. there is a fair amount of knock—about, gross out comedy. when the movie wants to be vulgar, it does not shy away from that, let's be honest about it. it works because it's got some great political satire, the fact the president in the movie is a tv actor who has gone into the white house but actually is not interested in policy, just in his ratings — which seems like such an absurd idea! i think that plays out really nicely. i like the idea of the two central characters... seth rogen doing it is not a surprise. charlize theron being quite as funny as she is is really rewarding.

a couple of times, i laughed knowing i was embarrassed at the vulgarity of the jokes. was anybody else laughing, or just you? it is a real crowd pleaser. tolkien? here's the thing. if somebody who creates works of literature that are so incredibly inspiring, it's very difficult if you make a biopic about their life in which the writing of the biopic is solidly uninspiring. what this tries to do is to lead you through his life in a way that suggests that this is the beginning of all the ideas that we would see in the hobbit and lord of the rings. he has a group of friends, a fellowship. he's in love with someone he wants to give a ring. he moves from rural, an industrial landscape, to somewhere beautiful, like the shire, and the film kind of plays out on the battlefield, europe, where our central character sees terrible things which are meant to inspire the visions of mordor and helms deep. it is not bad, it is really perfunctory. when you talk about something

as creative and imaginates as the lord of the rings, it seems really odd to just be something which isjust joining the dots. "this led to this, this led to this." i don't doubt for one minute the author's personal experience did inspire his work. i just don't think they played out in such a logically televisual fashion. presumably, tolkien fans want to see it. i actually think not. the tolkien estate have not been interested. they are not endorsing it. i don't think it will have anything like the audience like lord of the rings has. now, it is the story of the serial killer ted bundy — possibly the longest film title of the week, maybe the year, extremely wicked, shockingly evil and vile. which is the phrase the judge used at the end of the trial. the judge here played byjohn malkovich. ted bundy is played by zac efron. who we see meeting and seducing

the woman whose memoirs inspired this film, played by lily collins. her second mention this week — she plays edith bracken in tolkien. what the film is not about is the crimes, which are utterly horrific. what it is about is the people around ted bundy who don't see him for what he is. here's a clip. i'm sorry, i have to pull an all—nighter tonight. all—nighter? i need to make sure i am the most prepared attorney in the courtroom once my trial starts. why did she choose you out of the lineup? my lawyer found out that the police showed her a picture of me, twice. of of look familiar. that's not even the worst part. what happened in utah

wasn't just dumb luck. the police already had my name. someone gave it to them. someone gave your name to the authorities in utah? do you have any idea who would do that to you? do you see that car out there? it's been following me since i got back. either i'm going crazy, or i'm being set up. what did you make of zac efron‘s performance? i think efron‘s effort is terrific. i have always thought he is terrific all the way back to high school musical he is a versatile actor. this is directed by the director of the documentary series. it's really kind of a dramatic companion piece to that documentary series. as i said before, thankfully, it doesn't concentrate on the crimes. what it concentrates on is everything around it, people inveigled into his world.

and who became sympathetic towards him. and of course the televised court case. it became this huge media circus. john malkovich as the judge. efron is the film's strongest suit. i do think he's a really talented actor. i think that he manages to inhabit a number of different roles and what he gets here is the narcissism, the deceptiveness. the film is about how is it that this character the convinced people he was anything other than the title. i am not sure the film gets much beyond that. i don't think really tells us much else about him but i do think zac efron‘s performance is terrific. best out this week? eighth grade. i spoke about this last week. i love it. bo burnham's directorial debut. a 13—year—old girl growing up in the internet world. a generation called self—obsessed but really self—conscious. a wonderful score. really good performance by elsie fisher. have you seen it yet? i have not seen it yet. iam going

i am going to. on your recommendation. i guarantee you it's one of the films of the year. it is absolutely wonderful. i love it, and it's got so much empathy for its central character. i thought it was just wonderful. best dvd? approach with caution. this is piercing, a really twisted psycho thriller. there are some kronenberg in there, some lynch in there, it is... it is a two hander with a brilliant performance by mia was a koski. but it's not for the faint of heart. i used to introduce extreme cinema on the television. even i went, "really?" it's genuinely alarming, often quite funny. really when it needs to turn, it really turns. and to be approached with extreme caution. but i liked it. just to conclude, which would you recommend if you had to pick one? i would go for long shot. it made me laugh all the way through, and there are so many comedies that do not do that. i have a six laugh test.

did i laugh six times? i thought it was five last time. ilaughed... standards are on the rise. it made you laugh six times. at least in the first ten minutes! fantastic. thank you very much indeed. that is it for both of us. thank you so much for watching. goodbye. hello. a very good evening to you. if you were out in the sunshine today you certainly got caught by the showers. the looming clouds brought some nasty downpours, rumbles of thunder. there will be fewer of them as we go through the next 2a hours. still if you around at the moment. this speckles are blue on the radar chart. legally end and the south—east. one or two of those will continue into the night.

showers returning to north—west scotla nd showers returning to north—west scotland with this zone of cloud will work southwards and eastwards. it means across the islands temperatures will drop away. it could be clear of a frost. elsewhere it will be a chilly start to sunday morning. temperatures in the towns and cities i—lid. in the countryside at freezing or below. it should be a sunny start. tomorrow, high pressure building and across the uk. it almost puts a cap on the atmosphere and stop the amount of showers building up that we saw today. it diverts the coldest of the winds into the north sea and other parts of europe. tomorrow, nowhere near as windy or showery. most of you start sunny but frosty. cloud over northern scotland. there will be showers, orkney, shetland, the north of the mainland to begin with. they will work southwards. cloud amounts across northern ireland during the day. sunny spells breaking through. one or two showers to the west of england and wales for the second half of the day. one or two
